Travel through this enchanting delta on all kinds of game drives, traditional dugout canoe trips (known as mokoro cruises) and guided walks. Chobe National Park, home to the world’s largest elephant herds, is also well worth a visit, with its excellent Buffaloes, hippo and Antelope populations.

Also a must-see, are the stunning boat safaris (river cruises) on the Chobe River as elephant families swim and play in the water, framed by breath-taking sunsets and sunrises. Botswana safaris are also a great way to explore the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans, an unusual and beautiful place full of strange desert animals, and the strange silence of this huge, empty place will stay in your memory forever.

Luxury safaris in Botswana is unique because it has many highly exclusive lodges, amazing wildlife and extremely dedicated conservation efforts.
